Does anyone know Batch code.

[On fire]

I posted this before but the topic is long since gone.
Ok how do I make a batch file append a txt fiile to another txt file? (Or apend text to the text file would be fine.)(Sorry if this is confusing.)

Hmm... good old dos, jeez, I think the trick is some thing like this

C:\> test.txt < test2.txt

but Im really not sure...

Look into the copy command.  If memory serves, you can do something like

"copy alpha + baker charlie"

and the file "charlie" will contain the contents of "alpha" followed by the contents of "baker".  You'd probably need to toss in a /B if you want to concatenate binary files, because I think it'll assume ASCII otherwise.

As for appending text, DOS may support the ">>" redirection syntax.  e.g.

 "blah.exe > foo"  will OVERWRITE foo, but
 "blah.exe >>foo"  should append blah's output to foo.

 "copy foo + CON:" should take input from CON:  (the console device) and concatenate it to "foo".

But it's been a while, and I'm on a 'nix, so test using toy files before you try with anything important.

Ok Here is the code. I have two different ideas.


Author:On_fire
@echo off
cd data
h1.txt >> output.txt
:1
choice /c:yn texta
if errorlevel is 1 then goto texta
:2
choice /c:yn textb
if errorlevel is 1 then goto textb
:3
exit
:texta
texta.txt >> output.txt
goto 2
:textb
textb.txt >> output.txt
goto 3


Author:On_fire
@echo off
cd data
h1.txt >> output.txt
choice /c:yn texta
if errorlevel is 1 then goto texta.txt >> output.txt
choice /c:yn textb
if errorlevel is 1 then goto textb.txt >> output.txt
exit

I thought I had the code right but it is not working.
All the text files and the output.txt file are in a data folder. Anyone know why this won't work?

Here is a file that does what you want, I think.  I have not tested it.  :)
